1. Planning and inhibition in corvids
Sammanfattning : Executive functions (EF) denote the host of top-down mental processes that mediate self-regulation to achieve a goal. Among other things, EF support cognitive flexibility by allowing inhibition of automatic responses in favour of obtaining future goals. LÄS MER
2. Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy and Imaging of Turbid Media
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with optical spectroscopy and imaging of complex and strongly scattering turbid media. Focus is mainly placed on three topics, being i) diffuse optical spectroscopy of choroidal tumors, ii) gas spectroscopy in scattering materials using the GASMAS (gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy) technique, and iii) luminescence diffuse optical imaging and tomography of tissues. LÄS MER
3. Psychosocial factors and preterm birth : national register-based studies
Sammanfattning : Every year, approximately fifteen million infants are born preterm, defined as prior to 37 gestational weeks. Preterm birth is the number one cause of neonatal mortality, which kills more than one million babies every year globally. However, its aetiology remains largely unclear, hindering effective preventions. LÄS MER
4. Immunity and inflammation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : an epidemiological approach
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare but lethal neurodegenerative disease, characterized by degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The pathogenesis of ALS is, however, not completely clear. LÄS MER
5. Design of Cellulose-Based Materials via Sustainable and Scalable Processes
Sammanfattning : Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues in today’s world. Addressing this problem calls for the development of environmentally friendly alternatives that would reduce the amount of persistent plastic waste. LÄS MER
